farmer's §tgartmtul. To Our Agricultural Readers, Tliis portion of our paper, we intend hereaf ter to devote exclusively to the publication of urth les designed for the instruction and bone lit of those who till the soil. We design to make this department of the Reporter of ser vice to those who take an interest in such mat ters, by careful selections from the best Agri cultural journals of the day. Such we have in our reach, and ve shall publish only such por tions as are of general practical value, and ap plicable to our climate, soil and production?. Many of the Agricultural publications now published, are almost useless to our farmers, because of the abstruse and highly scicntliic manner in which they treat subjects. The knowledge they impart Is of value only to those in the neighborhood of large towns, w here an a lysis of the soil, expensive experiments, and costly machinery and fertilizers can only be made profitable. What our readers want, if the plain, every day experience of working men, not the vain theories of visionary dream crs. They want that kind of information whicl one fanner communicates to his neighbor, whu describing the mode of culture bv which hi has raised an unusually large crop, or the pro cess by which he has fattened his cattle. Il will be our care to cull from the sources v ithii our reach, practical hints for farmers, recipes Ac. We shall endeavor to make this depart ment of the Reporter worth more to every in tclligent farmer, than the price, per year. We also invite the contributions of tho.-e in forested iu Agricultural progress, and arc wi! ling to communicate useful hints for the beneii of others. We will cheerfully give place tc communications upon any of the topics of in terest to farmers. Bradford is taking a higl rank amongst the Agricultural Counties of tb< Commonwealth, and the display at her annua fairs, is second to that of no other County.— Surely there are those amongst her intelligcn and enterprising population who are able am willing to instruct others, by detailing the me thods by which they have been successful. T< any who may have such a desire, we tendc the use of our columns. Editor Redorter. THE HUSBANDMAN. BY STERLING. Earth of man the bounteous mother, Feeds him still with corn and wine; He who best would aid a brother, Shares with liini this gift divine. Many a power within her bosom. Noiseless, hidden, works beneath; Hence are seed, and leaf, and blossoms, Golden ear and clustered wreath. These to swell with strength and beauty Is the royal task of man; Man's a king, his throne is Duty, Since his work on earth began. Bud and harvest, bloom and vintage. These, like man, are fruits of earth; Stamped in clay, a heavenly mintage, All from dust receive their birth. Barn, and mill, and wine-vat's treasures, Earthly goods for earthly lives; These are Nature's ancient pleasures, These her child from her derives. What the dream, but vain rebelling, If from earth we sought to flee ? 'Tis our stored and ample dwelling, 'Tis from it the skies we see. Wind and frost, aud hour and season. Land aud water, sun and shade, — Work with these, as bids thy reason, For they work thy toil to aid. Sow thy seed and reap in gladness 1 Man himself is all a seed; Hope and hardship, joy and sadness, Slow the plant to ripeness lead. The Prosperous Farmers. What happy fellows the farmers must be now. Hard tunes! Hard times! is the inces sant ery of the merchant, manufacturer and mechanic. Business is nearly prostrate,— money at a premium of thirty per eent., and not to be had at that, without first class colla terals, princely firms of half a century's stand ing are tottering, falling, and carrying distress and rain to all uround them, —giant manufac tories suspending operations,—workshops, closing, food of all kinds exorbitantly high,— thoasauds of mechanics and laboring men, with tens of thousands of helpless ones dependent upon them, without employiuenu, and with no immediate prospect of securing any, and to add to the chilling gloom of the picture, cold cheer less wiuter encircling us in his icy arms.— When, before, have we fallen noon such evil times? In the midst of all this desolation and dis tress the farmer stands the only man in the whole community upon whom prosperity and success deign to smile. While the merchant tosses uneasily upon his pillow, with visions of ■notes (hie, and nothing to meet them, hard hearted creditors, bankruptcy and ruin floating through his brain, the farmer with an untroubled heart scans his broad acres, and looks the future in the eye with an unblanched cheek.— While the industrious mechanic, with a wife and children wholly dependent npon his exer tions, turns with a sail heart front the work shop, where, a few months since, his skill and ingenuity had guaranteed him a comfortable support at least, and surveys the- cheerless prospect before him, not knowing where tlie next dollar to purchase food and l'ucl for the helpless and loved ones at home is to come from, the farmer turns to his mother earth, as an infant to the maternal breast, knowing that in her ample bosom abundance may always be found. Such contrasts are painful, but they arc in structive. They serve to show how strong and steadfast is the man whose success iu life is de pendent, not upon the iluctations of stocks, or the risks and perplexities of trade, but upon the soil, the grateful soil, which like un honest employer, pays the full value for every hour's labor bestowed upon it. Think of these things, ve wh are longing for the excitements of citv life, with the hope of realizing fortunes iu ii dav. Ylear Mr. Holcomb on this subject. "I will trust to my farm, I see it will at j least support me and mine, I will even lend it i dollar I can apar&. Yes, we rnav trust 1 thcl and. The banks and the railroads, the stock and tho scrip, may or may not pay us back, but this nursing mother will fulfil all her promises, honor all drafts. en may draw on her at six months for your at crop, and at nine months for your corn crop, and at twelve monl!is for your "wheat crop, and if from any great calaniitv, as the drouth or the flood, site cannot always fully pay up on the day, she will make a handsome instalment, ask a little time, and then pay up to the last farthing, aud if von have been generous to her, maybe she will make you a handsome present besides." Take Good Care of ycur Implements. In primitive times when agricultural opera tions were carried on with a few rude imple ments, tho words of advice contained in the heading of this article were unnecessary. The sickle, t'la.i, plow and harrow comprised nearly the w hole of tho early husbuiulraua's stock of implement. and these w ere of such rude con struction, that but little care was needed to protect them from injury. With the farmer the present day the case is widely different.— The numbi r of implements required to conduct the ordiuajv operations of a large farm, is not only great, but many of thorn arc of a char acter requiring considerable care aud attention, not merely iu operating them, but in protecting them from damage when aot in actual use.— Although most of the business of the farm is simple in character, requiring simpb and strong : implements and machinery, still important and complicated working parts have-been introduc ed into many of Lite agricultural machines of : modern invention, upon the keeping of which iu complete order, depends the p affect working ;of the w hole. These more delicate parts, arc unfortunately the very ouc-s most likely to be neglected. The machine works badly in con | sequence, and the result is, that it is either : thrown aside as unfit for use, or returned to I the manufacturer, the lat'. r being the course i most generally pursued. While we are pre pared to admit that many manufacture? of ag ricultural implements deserve to have their ar ticles thrown back upon their hands, on ac i count of their flimsy construction, we have j equally good reasons for asserting that the dif ficulty docs not lie wholly in that direction.— Farmers as a general thing are tou negligent i with their tools. How frequently a;e plows , and harrows p< rmitled to rest aud ru-t in the fence corners of the fields in which they were last used, from fall to spring and from spring ; to fall again. Spade-, shovels and hoes are 1 not deemed worthy a shelter from the weather, i while athcr implements share the same fate.— i Hood Mr. Farmer this is all wrong, aud you i are more frequently In error than you suppose, S when you charge the imperfections of your own i farming machinery wholly to the manufacturer, | and not iu some degree at least to yourselves. | Take our advice, and have all your moveable | implements carefully cleaned, examined and j stored away iu their appropriate place, just as i soon us you arc done with tlicui for the season, | Wash the dirt from your plows, and while the mold-board and the landside are bright, apply a light coat of good oil. This will save the trouble of repolishing, when wanted for next season's plowing. Examine your mowers and reapers when harvesting is completed, repair damages, oil the knife and those parts which revolve, and wear rapidly, and the first time you are in town, purchase a paint pot, paint aud brush, and the very first leisure half day you have, give all the wood work of your ma chines a coat of paint, and then, store them away carefully in their yroper place. Pursue this plan with all your implements, aud our word for it, your complaints against the manu factureers will be less frequent. Drought and rain affect implements injuriously, and a good coat of paint serves to protect them iu a great degree from bad effects of both. A celebrated English Agriculturist express es our views so clearly 0:1 this subject, that we commend his remarks to the careful attention of our readers, lie says: '• L would advise farmers to contrive by care and good manage ment, to make their implements durable, as pos sible. The cost of this will be trifling, compar ed with the advantages. In order to effect it, select the most likely laborer on the farm; put the implements under his care and make it a strict rule with all the men, that each imple ment done with fort lie season, shall be brought to one particular place, say near the pond inde pendent, and yet so free from vanity and pride ; so rich, and yet so industrious—.so patient aud persevering iu his noble calling, and yet so kind and obliging. There are a thousand noble traits about his character which are rarely met with in city life. YOll may eat and drink with han and lie won't set a mark 011 you and swear it out of you with compound interest—he is hospitable. He will do you kindness without expecting a return byway of compensation— he is generous ; not so with everybody. lE is generally more honest and sincere and gives society it- best support —is the firmest pillar that support- the government. Y\ ooi.r.x RAGS FOR MANTRE. —The 11-e of woolen rag- for manure is well known. When once decompose 1 they act very powerfully, but the decomposition is slow, and they are not easily spread uniformly on land. Mons. (Joubin therefore treats the rags with weak caustic so da lye, and dries them. They are afterwards pulverized, passed through sieves, and in that condition put on land. This manure- is well suited for turnips, beets, and all such parts as require a short time for their development.

IYKRS PILLS. \ND CHERRY PECTORAL—The fol -1 _l_ \. lowing remedies arc offered to the public as the licst, ' most jierfcct, which medical science can afford. AVKK S ! CATIIARTK' PILLS have been prepared with the utmost ! skill which the medical profession of this age possesses. 1 and their effects show they have virtues which .-oi |>as- I any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other jire ! jiarntions do more or lea good ; but this cures -ueli d.lll - gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prow- an i efficacy and a jiower to uproot disease bevond any thing i wh'eh'men have known before. By removing the obstruc - tions o the internal organs and' stimulating them into i healthv action, they renovate the fountains of life and i visor-'-bealth courses anew through the body, and the I sick man is well again. They are adapted to disc.i e,and < disease or.lv. for when taken by one in health they jno- I dnce but little effect. This is the perfection of medicine. < It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender c-hil ■ then mav take thern with impunity. If they are sick they will cure them, if they are well they will do them 11 > I harm. Give them to .some patient who has been prostrated with I bilious complaint; see his bent-np, tottering form struiglit -1 en with strength again ; .-cc hi- long-lost a|q>ctite ret in ; see his clammy features blos-om into health. Give them j to some sufferer whose foul blood has lair-t out in scrofula ; till his skin is covered with sores ; who stands, or -its, or 1 lfes in anguish. He has been drenched inside and out with i exery every potion vv'iieh ingenuity could suggest. Give him these I'ills, and mark the effect ; see the scabs fall i from his body ; see the new, fair skin that ha- grown un ! der them ; see the late lejicr that is clean. Give them to j him whose angry htinmrs have planted rheumatism in his ; juiiit- and bones : move him, and lie screeches with pain : 1 he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body with liuaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purify ' his blood j they uiay not cure him, for olas! there ca-e -i which no mortal jiower can reach : but mark, he walks ! with crutches now, and now he walkes alone ; tliey have ! cured him.

Nau-ea, Fain in the Rowels. Flatulency. Loss ol Appetite. King's Evil, Neuralgia. Gout, and kindred cninjiloints all arise from tlig derangements which these i'ills rapidly cure.
